The Doctoral Training Centre in Sustainable Chemical Technologies was established in 2008 with a £7.5m EPSRC grant.

The event is open to anyone interested in research in the field of sustainability, and is free to attend.

The Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies brings together academic expertise and international industrial partners in response to sustainability rising rapidly in the corporate agenda.

The centre’s activities include research, training and outreach, crossing traditional boundaries between chemical sciences and engineering. All of the Centre’s research projects are multidisciplinary in nature, to deliver new and sustainable chemical technologies for the future.

Dr Scott said: “The event gives those interested in sustainable technologies an opportunity to learn more about research taking place within the Centre and to engage with researchers and industry leaders in the field.

“A number of workshops will take place during the event, which will allow researchers to build collaborative ties with industry. Last year these resulted in a number of project proposals to shape future research in the Centre.

“Students from our Doctoral Training Centre will be showcasing the research they are currently carrying out, through a series of poster exhibitions and presentations.

“Talks will be given by representatives from the Centre, from industry collaborators in the field of sustainable chemical technologies and from colleagues in international institutions.

“The event will be a fantastic opportunity for anyone with an interest in this subject to engage with the Centre and develop an understanding of the latest research in the field.”

Guest speakers at the event include international partners from Ohio State University and RWTH Aachen University, along with a few of our many industrial partners including Alstom, Johnson Matthey, EADS, Charnwood Technical Consulting Ltd, Unilever and Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals.
